i wonder if the cars are made in Nigeria or they are mad in the SE. You guys should just stop this childish trubalism jare

no, the SE are enemies of progress who like corruption and hate development according to APC nairaland.
That is a SE product, not a Nigerian one .

IVM is IPOB *mimicking the resident haters *

Meritocracy:
Real politics play by efcc, now being deputy senate president and efcc ambassador he would caution himself in supporting corrupt guru among the senators trying to pass laws to weaken anti corruption. House divided already.

That is exactly what I believe too.
EFCC playing on his vanity and applying the reverse psychology game to get a much needed ally in the upper echelons of the Senate, against saraki and the rest.

akwana:
A goat that is to be killed for festivities is first fattened. Eat well Ekweremadu, your political career will be slaughtered soon.g

You Expect EFCC to go after their own anti corruption ambassador?
The PR blowback alone is enough to erode the credibility of the PMB administration completely, which is not much to begin with anyway.

One leg in the SP already.
And like I predicted, if saraki is removed, ekweremadu becomes SP, and there is nothing our resident Yoruba horde can do about it.
Only ineffective tears and weeping on the pages of nairaland.

herbie27:
So in your country the president's children fly economic class?.

In order to protect the first family in any country they are flown on first class...they are never neglected.

I don't like the man's economic policies bt lets call a spade a spade. PDP is jst complaining unnecessarily.

in my adopted country, the president flies airforce one.
But a seriously broke 3rd world country like yours should not have the children of President fly first class. It does not set a good example.
They are nobodies. Even the British prime minister and the Pope fly economy.

jcross19:
google this "chinese president flies on a commercial flight. Okay.

The daughter of the Chinese president dare not fly first class.
Unless she want her father to be executed for corruption and waste, by rivals in the communist government.

herbie27:
they shld play their opposition wisely and not make Nigerians hate them totally for some biased statements.

Where In the world do you get an unbiased opposition?
Was APC an unbiased opposition?
You people in that country are funny. Trying hard to sound intelligent and still failing to be.
Why should the spoilt daughter of the President be flying first class when whole ministers are not supposed to due to poor national finances?

Adaure4ever:
what kind of mumu thread is this?
@OP, u need a 6months brain rehabilitation at Yaba left.

He comes from the land of pseudo sophisticates, experts at turning logic on its head.
What do you expect,?

You are a tribalist. Assuming i opened a thread blasting the fulani's i wont be considered as a weak link in the south. You guys are not diplomatic and believe violence and confrontations is the solution to every problems. My suggestion so far makes me a coward in the eyes of you and your fellow ipad yoots. This is the reason your lord and saviour Nnamdi Kanu is locked up in jail for displaying bravery without common sense. You claim the cattle herders are killers. The FG propose to give them portions of lands for grazing so they wont eat your farm produce anymore. What else do you want? You preffer they send them back to the north to rear their cattles forgetting they have the right to live and work anywhere in Nigeria just like you When fashola sent back igbo beggars we remmember the reactions from the easterners. Do onto others what u can do to yourselves

I won't bother writing a dissertation for you. It is irrelevant.
Ask your state governments to give Yoruba lands to them, I won't give a hoot.

luvinhubby:
If they want to establish ranches, the cows are sold for good money which they can use to purchase the land of their choice for the cattle rearing, the Igbo traders rent & buy their own shops & properties, let the Fulanis do so.

These guys are unbelievable.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen - the weak link in the southern regional chain.
How In God's name did we get this kind of unfortunate region as neighbors?
The guy was even making Comparisons to harmless traders who buy Lands at exorbitant prices and are often at the mercy of the state governments.
And the herdsmen have proven from history to be unyielding and to overreach regardless of compromise.
The Ss/se is In serious trouble of existential proportions if we do not remove ourselves from these fifth columnists and perpetual traitors who don't mind selling us all in the name of political sophistication and temporary political gain.

modath:
We need investors in the real sectors, Mining, Industries, commodities, FMCG etc not fly by night stocks & bonds, Portfolio investors!!!

Devaluation NOW is not in the nation's favour.

And who are these investors in the real sectors?
Sai buhari junkies like you?
I laugh.

Caseless:
you'd agree with me now that lag is moreorless the digital hub right now.

it is like saying new York is the Silicon Valley of the world because of wall Street, when California is.
This country has no Silicon Valley yet.

Goke7:
of course he will be greedy and fall yakata, you know how those guys from that side reason nah, chest beating is their game

no, he shouldn't take the position because our resident tajus and the kleptomaniac tinubu said so , abi?
You people really overestimate your importance in this country.
Rubbish.
Go and remove him if he becomes the SP.

jaso1:
This is how Odumegu Ojukwu pushed many of you into avoidable death. He knew from beginning that the war will consumed majority of his people and can't be won, yet he pushed you into it.
Another devil is at it again, beating war drum that would see an end to his tribe just for selfish reason. He's been in the senate enjoying like bee, he follow share money instead of sharing and implementing bright ideas that will move the nation forward. But the reason why these idiots are using you to execute their evil is because of poverty driven economy they operate with. The frustration and agony of Jonathan lost can never be easily forgotten. It is one Nigeria and if PMB complete his term Yoruba person will come in.
Go and die!

why not call awolowo the jail bird to come back and rule.?
See his mouth like Yoruba person.

Goke7:
you resort to casting aspersions just because I exposed your hypocrisy, Sir you are not as smart as I thought

You are sillier than I thought.
How is a state with barely enough to pay salaries competent enough to pay seaports ?

modath:
Pa Chukwudi Please let's start another round of unnecessary bickering!!!

Just watch & see if Ekweremadu will sip from that poisoned chalice first nah...

I'm not bros & you know it!




@ Ratello

E-H of life, one won't tell a recalcitrant child not to go looking for leprosy, as long as a solitary stay in the forest isn't unacceptable..

We dey hia dey watch nah.

How is it a poisoned chalice?
You think Apc wouldn't have played that card if they had anything on him.?

That was how they said saraki would not emerge until he did.
Ekweremadu being a veteran politician with the support of the PDP would emerge SP and there is nothing our resident tajus can do about it.
And unlike saraki, ekere does not owe Apc anything and has nothing to fear.

Goke7:
oh so the states are now incompetent, thought you guys said the PMB's FG is incompetent, the way you guys speak from both ends of the mouth is so amazing. Yes the enugu project deal has been on the cards yet your beloved hero did not approve it ba? Even if PMB build a seaport for you guys now, you will credit to the previous govt. You guys are playing politics without common sense all because of a failed party called the Peoples destruction party otherwise known as pdp.

PMB is even too nice for my liking, he would have left it to your daughter of the soil to come and approve it for you. smh

of course, my meaning of incompetence would fly over a political jobber like you.
How is a state with barely enough to pay salaries competent enough to build a seaport?
Political jobber.

This is what is expected of a SE governor.
Improve the lives of the people instead of fighting for backward vested interests in the murky waters of Abuja politics.

Wallade:
OK. It has to be South-South then. Your description of Ibaka waterways really makes it attractive for a port proposal. I vote for a port in Ibaka - South-South.

Thank you for the information. I wish you a lovely day.

A seaport of Lagos class in the SS would be tremendous for the east.
Have a good day too.

Goke7:
Cross river is already planning one which has the blessings of FG, there is nothing wrong in railway dear, stop the politics. FG has just approved more international flight destinations for the SE from Enugu and an indigenous airline for that. This will reduce the heavy traffic in Lagos airports and create more economic activities in the SE.

A seaport is not a job for the state government alone. The FG either deliberately or otherwise is taking up irrelevant projects and leaving vital ones to the largely incompetent States. Smh
The enugu airport deal had been in progress long before buhari got In.
In fact, it had to take a daughter of the soil to make that airport international after years of deliberate neglect.

Wallade:
I asked that question to determine how stupid you could be.

You mentioned Ibaka and also indicated that it is located in the South-South so that is a wrong answer. The question focused on South-East.

You mentioned Abia and I couldn't stop wondering if there is a sea near Abia. When you talk about seaport, you don't mean river port or poolport. It has to be a seaport which is equipped to handle ships of, at least, moderate sizes. Even Calabar and Port-Harcourt sea ports can not handle or accommodate some vessels. As popular as Lagos seaport is, it also can't handle some big vessels.

What did you do with education, even if it is substandard, Google is your friend.

of course you wouldn't know about the proposed seaport in abia state, you mindless simpleton.
I am not as particular with having any seaport in the Se as I am with having a very standard one in close proximity to the eastern region due to the obvious advantages to the east, which was why I gave the Ibaka example.
A waterway that has the capacity for much bigger ships and has a much longer coastline than Lagos.

Kollyman:
Even if the ports are up and running, most importers would still prefer using Lagos port for the following reasons:

1. Most vessels that bring in goods from abroad are enroute Lagos being the base of major importers. The shipping companies are into business and they would not because of a good that is less than 5% of the total cargos and change their route to the east.

2. Major bulk breakers prefare picking their stocks in Lagos as it is just like going into the market where varieties of what you need can be seen and purchased.

3. Larger chunk of the imported goods are consumed in the S/W and neighbouring states ( I know you might want to argue this), e.g, 2015 FRSC report confirmed that over 45% of vehicles in Nigeria are in Lagos alone.

4. It is much easier for the importers to transport their goods from Lagos to other parts of the country than anywhere else.

5. Major facilities needed for smooth importation are located in Lagos. Take for instance, when the Federal government wanted to concession the fercilities in Nigeria ports, over 85% of the concessioneer S showed interest in Lagos ports only.

The truth is that major traders prefare to do their business in the hub.

Other countries examples:

1. South Africa has over 5 ports but majority of importation activities are done in Jo'bourg.

2. Same with Kenya and Egypt.

SA has five ports.
Nigeria should build more standard ports like Lagos and let water find its level.

Goke7:
are there not plans already? we've been hearing these plan for years now, railway contributes positively all over the world. Please stop brainwashing people

The FG should take the project as a priority and bring it to fruition.
Railway would not have as much impact on the eastern economy like a seaport would.
The FG should build a seaport first, and build a railway after.
You accuse and taunt them of flooding Lagos for economic opportunity. Give them the wherewithal to build their own Lagos.

Wallade:
Where in South-East do you want government to build a sea port? Please answer the question.

abia has a decent potential for seaport.
If that is too far-fetched, ibaka in the SS is also a perfect option.
I wonder why all those people that want igbos to leave Lagos are fighting for a rail that Connects both regions.
It is time to put their money where their mouths are.
Build a seaport and scrap any useless railway that would not help the eastern economy In the long run.

Wallade:
I didn't want to dignify you with a response earlier but when I saw this rejoinder you made, I felt the need to make a position.

Let's look critically at the existence of a Lagos - Calabar railine. It will pass through a lot of states where there can be stop overs and products, both locally manufactured and imported raw materials or unfinished goods, can be delivered timely, efficiently and effectively at less cost.

It is only logical to take more advantage of Lagos port because of proximity and the ability of the port to accommodate bigger vessels. Why do you think it is so convenient for ships to stop in Lagos rather than other ports in Nigeria.

Moreover, ships can can also stop I. Calabar too and the products can be distributed via the rail lines to states along the Calabar - Lagos route.

Have you thought of all the trailers falling and traffic on the interstate roads. Do you know how many heavy duty trucks move goods along the interstate roads managing the risks along such roads. Do you think about wear and damages to those roads due to the constant use especially by heavy duty trucks.

Your problem is basic - your thoughts are shallow. How could someone like you think out of the box?

But the people are not Interested in your rail.
They want a port for reasons best known to them.
You can't like the SE more than the South easterners themselves.
If a rail is their most important priority, they would fight for it themselves.
The fg should build a seaport there instead of a railway that only benefit Lagos.
